bookshelves: comics
With the origin story out of the way the series kicks into gear, with action, humor, sex appeal, nuances of the 1980's setting, and a real look at the toll Jon's life take on his body and psyche. There's a real hope that this is being written with an endgame in sight. ]]> Review5901826087 Wed, 11 Oct 2023 08:47:23 -0700 /review/show/5901826087 Brian gave 4 stars to Jon Sable: Freelance (Trade Paperback) by Mike Grell
bookshelves: comics
It's 1980's mens own adventure stories, but Grell sells it from the get go; Sable is a badass but avoids being the baddest baddass who ever assed a bad (most of the time) and the stories hold up pretty well. ]]> Review5885453524 Wed, 11 Oct 2023 08:45:38 -0700 /review/show/5885453524 Brian gave 3 stars to Change of Plans (Matthews Brothers, #3) by Dylan Newton
This was cute, much like the others in the series. It's nice when the problems in the relationship starting come from well developed and explicable character beats rather than idiot plotting, and Newton does a good job of switching between the two viewpoint characters to see how the same events are viewed differently. ]]> Review5885459768 Tue, 03 Oct 2023 18:14:45 -0700 /review/show/5885459768 Brian gave 4 stars to Showcase Presents: Warlord, Vol. 1 (Paperback) by Mike Grell
